      2. No, it does not work, what's more, now is that, the few times (very few) that my blog can get in, or has no access or have one, which is not exactly convenient.

        This was handy when you stood a link and sometimes you were up to 30 views but now is that, as I have said, often do not get any.

        I need to know, please, if this will continue.

        Also, before I put a comment to that effect and I erased it, I do not understand why.

    2. Not sure what's changed recently, but traffic from Alphainventions has dropped dramatically.. over the past couple days have to continuously submit my bog to gain 'power', which doesn't seem to do much from what I can see.

      Would love to know how this works now.. been using the site for over 4 years now, and have gained a lot of readers/viewers from it and would love to continue to do so.

      Cheers,

      Martin

Last time, when I saw your site this was a little good but today I visit the web site again and find that you are making a very smart work on the site.
